Jets visit Cleveland. Lots of storylines there: Mangini vs his old team, Rob Ryan vs Rex Ryan, Braylon returns to Cleveland, all those former Jets players that Eric brought in go against their old team, the Mark Sanchez trade, the Browns just killed New England, Colt McCoy, Peyton Hillis, etc.

I honestly think the Jets will give us a wake-up call. Their run D isn't New England's.

But for serious, I was saying **** like this last week. I will just keep predicting the Browns to lose so I can continue to be pleasently surprised every time they win. But really, I see us going down in this one.

It reminds me of college football where a weaker team upsets a highly ranked one, then goes and gets absolutely crushed by the next strong team they face.

This shouldn't detract from beating the Saints and Patriots, both impressive, but I think it's about time to snap back to reality.

That's what I'm saying. Hillis simply isn't going to drop 184 on the Jets, which will negate like oh what, 70% of our offense? Colt is doing an excellent job of not costing us games. But way too many Browns fans, and I'm not calling anyone out on this board - are annointing him the second coming of Christ in Cleveland.

Let's be real, he threw for 281 yards against Pittsburgh. Yeah, cool, against their JV, and his TD pass came with substantially less than a minute left. Sure, his poise and ambition displayed in that game because he kept getting up hit after hit - not many rookies would withstand that, yeah I get it.

Here come the Patriots, yeah 6-1, I thought we were going to get bent over at home and take a huge facial - but, Mangini probably has his best coached game during the tenure of his career in Cleveland and decides to exploit NE's weak ass run D, Hillis bails us out running like a dude posessed. Again, Colt completes easy passes, doesn't force anything, utilizes his above average mobility to get some first downs and a TD. I'll take it, spectacular? No, but I'll take it from a ******* 3rd round rookie.

Now, let's move on to the Jets. They do an outstanding job of taking away the tight end, Colt likes Benny Wat so far - what's he going to do when he's blanketed? You think Massaquoi is going to have his breakout game against Revis? I sure as **** don't. Cromartie is probably laughing at the fact at covering Brian ******* Robiskie. So, this is where I think Colt gets a phone call from reality that he has no choice but to answer. Our passing game is going to hurt - bad. Like I said, Hillis isn't dropping 184, hell I'll go out on a limb and say he doesn't even hit a 100.

Look, I like what Colt is doing but I just don't see him picking us up and throwing us on his shoulders and winning games for us (yet). I say we go down 27-10.
